Vitamin P posted:After Greece/troika 08 loving lmao at any relationship analogy that doesn't cast the EU as brutal domestic abuser. In this case, it's the domestic abuser getting into a relationship with someone who offers them detailed tips on how to hurt people, encourages them to do so, and then gives them a slow emotional workover for the next few decades before attempting a murder-suicide out of absolutely loving nowhere because they decided that they weren't fine with the domestic abuser having the family round after all despite repeatedly saying 'hey, we should invite your folks over'.

Small Gods is an excellent early oneshot. And yeah, Vimes has always been the protagonist of the City Watch books. Also, Night Watch is the peak of the series and everything slowly goes downhill from there. There are still solid books after Night Watch, but you should definitely stop reading when you stop having fun.

xtothez posted:I think if Boris calls an election before Brexit day we're heading for another hung parliament. He'll push a narrative of 'rebels are trying to undermine our negotiations with the EU', which provides a tissue-thin veneer of legitimacy that he's trying to avoid a No Deal and allows remain-leaning Tories to still vote for him. Meanwhile he can hoover up all the BXP votes based on his actions in the last few weeks. Unlike May, Boris has no issue with promising unicorns & rainbows for any other topic Labour are likely to compete on, as recent headlines show. With our current media I'm genuinely concerned that nuanced and detailed left wing policies will lose out to simplistic promises of tax cuts and more public sector resources that the Tories have no intention on delivering. See: how Trump promised to make all working class richer and how many are still waiting on it. I think picking an Objectivist as chancellor and then treating him like utter poo poo because you're a racist will severely limit your ability to make spending pledges. The Saj has shown himself to be increasingly happy to say 'actually, no, we won't do that, because y'all are parasites'.

Vlex posted:Do you not think election/referendum fatigue will be a force? Remainers may vote LD on the perception that they are more likely to revoke A50, and Leavers will definitely vote CON on the mantra of BREXIT NOW. I think people are sick and loving tired of everything and want a result as fast as possible, one way or another. That depends on Jo Swinson having the courage to come out and say she would unilaterally revoke Article 50. Wouldn't put money on it, myself.

Pinterest Mom posted:Nah. A party needs somewhere between 620 and 626 seats to command a majority. Neither the Tories or Labour are competing in NI, so if they don’t hit 620+ in GB alone, that’s a hung parliament. That should be a 3 rather than a 6, right?

https://twitter.com/drjennings/status/1168639458184503296?s=21 Pretty interesting. It's not the Tories who are hyped for a general, and Johnson's charisma is flaking hard enough that he may have real difficulty energising his base. I do wonder if one of Britain's laziest politicians really has the stamina for a GE.

bump_fn posted:everyone keeps saying this but hes more cogent and coherent than trump and the chuds loving love him. who knows if the hogs still love boris Trump is smart enough to ensure that every one of his public appearances is in a position of strength. He's never sat in a room with several hundred jeering inbred sociopaths who sense blood in the water, or gone out to make a speech without a pre-packaged crowd of supporters. He may be more of a mess than Boris personally, but he's a lot better at not appearing weak. It did in May, and there's a good chance it will do in BoJo.

https://twitter.com/pmdfoster/status/1168781395117957122?s=21 That's the Daily Telegraph's Europe editor, who also broke the story about Cummings saying the government's EU negotiations are a sham (which Boris apparently bitched out the editorial office for running). It's a sad state of affairs when your own client newspaper is clowning on you.

mfcrocker posted:Maybe this particular fight but certainly not the war. Even if A50 gets revoked, this particular cat isn't going back in the bag - it'll just lead to the Tory party getting entirely consumed by the Brexit party. So you're saying that the current party of government would collapse into a tiny, toxic cabal of far-right nutters in a FPTP system, and this doesn't excite you? Remind me, how are UKIP doing right now?

Looking through the replies raises an interesting point - refusing to expel NND rebels pisses off BXP voters and leaves you stuck with an unpopular MP candidate who doesn't represent their party. They've hosed themselves coming and going.

It it just "gently caress you, we won't participate in the UK government because no part of Ireland should be in the UK"? Being an MP requires swearing loyalty to the Queen.
